Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Russia
Saint Basil's Cathedral , Hermitage Museum, Moscow Kremlin, Suzdal, Lake Baikal, St Sophia Cathedral, Novgorod, Kizhi Island, Valley of Geysers, Mount Elbrus, Trans-Siberian Railway
1-
Built between 1554 and 1561 and situated in the heart of Moscow, St. Basil’s Cathedral has been among the top tourist attractions in Russia. It is not the building’s interior artifacts that attract visitors, but rather the cathedral’s distinctive architecture. Designed to resemble the shape of a bonfire in full flame, the architecture is not only unique to the period in which it was built but to any subsequent period. There is no other structure on earth quite like St. Basil’s Cathedral.
2-
Founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great, the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia is a massive museum of art and culture showing the highlights of a collection of over 3 million items spanning the globe. The collections occupy a large complex of six historic buildings including the Winter Palace, a former residence of Russian emperors.
3-
The Kremlin is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Moscow. Home to the nation’s top governmental offices, the walled enclosure also houses four cathedrals built in the 15th and 16th century as well as several notable museums. The 250-acre grounds include the Armoury, filled with royal treasures of the past, and the Diamond Fund Exhibition, a collection of jewelry that includes a 190-carat diamond given to Catherine the Great.
4-
Once the capital of several Russian principalities, Suzdal is the jewel of Russia’s “Golden Ring,” ancient cities that the country has preserved as living museums of Russia’s cultural past. Those who wish to experience the best of Russia’s historic architecture, full of onion-dome topped kremlins, cathedrals and monasteries, will find it in Suzdal. Dating back to 1024, the entire city is like a large open-air museum that transports visitors back in time.
5-
Many travelers on the Trans-Siberian railway make plans to stop at Lake Baikal, the deepest and oldest lake on Earth. Lake Baikal holds around 20 percent of the world’s fresh water. Located in Siberia, the 25-million-year-old lake is surrounded by mountain ranges. The lake is considered one of the clearest lakes in the world. Known as the Pearl of Siberia, Lake Baikal is home to several resorts, making the area a popular vacation destination.
6-
Located in Novgorod, Russia’s oldest city, Saint Sophia Cathedral is situated within the grounds of the city’s Kremlin. Standing 125 feet high and adorned with five spectacular domes, the cathedral is the oldest church building in Russia. Saint Sophia Cathedral features an array of ancient religious artifacts, including The Mother of God of the Sign, an icon that legend says saved Novgorod from attack in 1169. The cathedral’s three famous ornately carved gates also date back to the 12th century.
7-
Located in Karelia, a region in Northwestern Russia that borders Finland and the White Sea, Kizhi Island is best known for its incredible open-air museum. Karelians have lived in the region since the 13th century, torn between the cultures of the East and the West. The museum’s collection features the 120-foot high Church of the Transfiguration of Our Savior, a structure made famous by its 22 domes. Other tourist attractions includes dozens of wooden houses, windmills, chapels and barns. The peasant culture is represented with craft demonstrations and folk ensembles.
8-
Situated on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, the Valley of Geysers is the second largest geyser field in the world. The Valley of Geysers was discovered in 1941 by local scientist Tatyana Ustinova. Since then it became a popular tourist attraction in Kamchatka and attracts a lot of interest from scientists and tourists.
9-
Mount Elbrus is located in the Caucasus Mountain Range in Southern Russia. At 5,642 meters (18,510 ft), Elbrus is included as one of the Seven Summits, the highest summits on each of the planet’s seven continents, attracting both experienced and novice mountain climbers. While the mountain was formed from a volcano, it is considered dormant, with no recorded eruptions. A cable car system can take visitors as high as 3,800 meters (12,500 ft), facilitating ascents to the summit.
10-
Part of the longest railway system in the world, the classic Trans-Siberian railway runs from Moscow to Vladivostok, a city near Russia’s borders with China and North Korea. Begun in 1891 by Tsar Alexander III and completed by his son, Tsar Nicholas II, in 1916, the line is known as the route of the tsars. Most travelers use the train as overnight accommodation from one destination to the next. The train features first-, second- and third-class sleepers, some with private bathrooms and showers.
Installation artists explore Russia's Soviet past
(17 Oct 2017) LEADIN:
A new exhibit at London's Tate Modern gallery is exploring the works of Russian-born artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.
Widely-known for their large-scale installations, the Kabakovs' work is deeply rooted in Russia's Soviet past.
STORYLINE:
'Not Everyone Will be Taken into The Future'. That's the cautionary message at London's Tate Modern.
To coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the art gallery is staging a major exhibit of Russian-born artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.
Both born in Soviet Russia, their works frequently feature Soviet culture and Russian literature, but they also explore more universal themes, such as utopia, dreams, fears and the human condition.
It's past and maybe possible a very scary future for humanity. It's failed utopia, explains Emilia Kabakov.
So what we're trying to explain the world that any utopia based on the destruction of human lives shouldn't be done.
Ilya Kabakov was part of a group of conceptual artists in Moscow that worked outside the official Soviet art system.
In the 80s, he moved west, taking up a six-month residency in Austria. He began working with Emilia in the late 80s, they married in 1992.
The artistic duo are widely known for their large-scale installations. The exhibit features six total or whole-room installations.
First of all, we come from the world that tried to change human lives, which tried to change the world and create utopia, which was bigger than life. So why shouldn't we try to make the world better and our installations bigger? says Emilia Kabakov.
After all, Soviet Russia was the first and the best, and Russian and Soviet watches were the fastest, our installations (are) the biggest.
The exhibit is claimed to be the first major museum exhibit of the artists in the UK.
It was organised in collaboration with St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum and Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery.
The exhibit features around 100 works, including paintings, drawings, albums, models and installations.
The context in which the artists were working draws upon the Soviet situation, which is where they grew up before emigrating to the west, explains curator Juliet Bingham.
And often the work looks at memory and a particular context in which people were living under certain situations.
One of the strands of the Kabakov's practice is an idea of escape and also a return to the idea of utopia and how it might be possible to achieve this, but also the idea of the failure of utopia.
Notable works include this installation, called 'The Man Who Flew into Space from His Apartment' from 1985.
It shows a room in a communal housing block. The unseen occupant seems to have built a catapult to hurl himself through the ceiling and into space - perhaps to escape the dreary reality of communal living and Soviet life.
They were pioneers, says Bingham.
Ilya began with very small-scale works in his studio in Moscow. So, we have an example here which is 'The Man Who Few into Space from His Apartment' which was then recreated in the late 80s at the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York.
It was an entire suite of rooms, which were called ten characters, each one presented a very lonely dreamer, an artist who was trying to make sense of the world and eventually escape reality.
So, you'll notice in all of their installations that the actual, physical character is absent.
The immersive 'Labyrinth' (My Mother's Album)' installation is a winding, seemingly-unending maze of collages.
Its walls are hung with collages that tell the story of Ilya's mother, Bertha Urievna Solodukhina.
They recount her memoirs and her life during a turbulent period in history that spanned from the 1917 Russian Revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union.

???????? РОССИЯ МОСКВА КОЛОМЕНСКИЙ ДВОРЕЦ ⛪ TOURIST ATTRACTION IN MOSCOW GREAT PALACE KOLOMENSKOYE
Летняя парадная резиденция царя Алексея Михайловича находилась в селе Коломенское. Здесь во второй половине XVII века был построен великолепный архитектурный ансамбль, названный восьмым чудом света. Величие и небывалая красота строений удивляла иностранных послов и утверждала силу царской власти.
После смерти Алексея Михайловича и перенесения столицы в Санкт-Петербург Коломенское пришло в упадок. При Екатерине II обветшавший дворец разобрали. Екатерина хотела отреставрировать дворец, но 56 934 золотых рубля оказались для нее слишком большой суммой. Тогда были сделаны тщательные обмеры и описи здания. Документы и чертежи сохранились до наших дней и по ним в 2007-2010 годах в Коломенском был воссоздан дворец. Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича был возведен рядом с тем местом, где находились царские хоромы в прошлом.
Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича – из истории
Коломенское – одно из самых древних мест проживания человека на территории современной Москвы.
Царь Алексей Михайлович Романов очень любил парк Коломенское, здесь он охотился и принимал послов и именно он превратил свою усадьбу в сказочный дом. Строительство проходило пять лет с 1667 по 1672 год. Императрица Елизавета Петровна родилась во дворце в 1709 году. Петр Первый, сын Алексея Михайловича, дорожил отцовским домом. Здесь он научился писать и считать, сюда он ходил под парусом, сплавляясь по Москве-реке и здесь у него появилась тяга к ратному делу. Екатерина ІІ Коломенское не любила. Обветшавший деревянный дворец казался ей не соответствующим венценосному статусу. По ее приказу деревянный дворец был разрушен в 1768 году и заменен на гораздо более скромные каменно-кирпичной конструкциии. Когда столицу перенесли в Петербург, московская усадьба оказалась заброшенной и с годами сильно обветшала.
Коломенское Дворец Алексея Михайловича. Внешний вид
Коломенский дворец царя Алексея Михайловича исследователи считают вершиной русского деревянного зодчества. Дворец царя Алексея Михайловича состоял из 27 теремов и палат высотой от 2 до 4 этажей. Эту затейливо украшенную систему построек возводили не для удобства царской семьи, а чтобы его пышностью произвести впечатление на иностранных гостей. И это удалось, а Симеон Полоцкий даже назвал Коломенский дворец «осмым дивом», то есть 8 чудом света. Высота некоторых палат достигала 30 метров, а общая площадь ансамбля составляет более 7000 кв. метров. Первое впечатление от постройки – это праздничное настроение и радость, которые стремились выразить мастера. Окна украшены резными деревянными наличниками с цветными деталями, использована отделка тесом, имитирующим камень. Оконные и дверные карнизы также удивляют замысловатой резьбой. Множество декоративных элементов и витражи придавали строению нарядный праздничный вид. Дворец имел ассиметричную планировку и состоял из множества разновеликих клетей, соединённых сенями и переходами. Дворец был разделён на две половины - мужскую и женскую. Всего во Дворце насчитывалось около 260 комнат. Эту загородную резиденцию любили посещать все царствующие особы. Здесь часто бывали и Пётр I, и Софья Алексеевна, но чаще других сюда приезжала и подолгу жила мать Петра I Наталья Кирилловна. Во дворце было около 3000 окошек. Украшению окон было уделено особое внимание.
Коломенский музей: Большой дворец внутреннее убранство
Экспозиция размещена в 24-х воссозданных интерьерах Хором Государя царя, Хором Государыни царицы и Хором царевичей, художественный образ каждого из них строится на основе взаимодействия архитектуры и убранства с функциями помещения: парадные залы для проведения торжественных приемов, пиров и празднеств, личные жилые покои.
Куда сходить в Москве в Коломенском во время экскурсии: Вы можете осмотреть постройку, а также музей и ознакомиться с бытом и укладом жизни царской семьи. Вы осмотрите кабинет царя Алексея Михайловича и комнату царевича Федора, кабинет Петра Первого и самое большое, торжественно оформленное помещение - Столовые палаты. В Думной палате обсуждались важные дела, а в Престольной палате царь принимал гостей. Многие предметы интерьера, иконы и гобелены являются подлинными, созданными мастерами XVII и XVIII веков.
Большой дворец (Коломенское музей заповедник) открыт для посетителей вторник–воскресенье с 10.00 до 18.00, выходной день – понедельник
Государственный музей заповедник Коломенское и Коломенское парк как добраться: прогулка пешком от станций м Коломенская или Каширская

Putin Opens New, Cutting-Edge Mercedes-Benz Auto Assembly Plant In Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the official opening of a Mercedes-Benz assembly plant in the Yesipovo industrial park in the Moscow Region. Prior to the ceremony, he had inspected the new plant’s assembly line.
The Kremlin press service reports that this line was installed based on the full flexible assembly system, using Industry 4.0 level technologies, which make it possible to arrange simultaneous production of several automobile platforms. The first car assembled in the plant will be an E-class sedan. Later, the plant will also assemble GLC-, GLE-and GLS-class SUVs.
The plant’s construction began on June 20, 2017, in accordance with a special investment contract. This document guarantees a continual tax burden over the entire period of activity and includes a non-regression of conditions clause, which ensures the stability of the business. Mercedes-Benz RUS investments amount for 250 million euro.
The plant’s planned capacity is 25,000 cars per year. In total, at full capacity, the plant will accommodate 1,000 jobs. Around 30% of the plant’s workers are locals living in the surrounding communities. Under the auspices of the Moscow Region’s administration, training workshops have been organized at the Podmoskovie College. Students attending classes in these workshops took part in the plant’s opening ceremony.
President Putin has long used a Mercedes automobile to get to and from work until recently he switched to a Russian-made Aurus car. Putin has personally driven Mercedes cars on a number of occasions.

Dead Man Talking: Lenin's Body and Russian Politics
(Visit: Arch Getty explores the intriguing details surrounding Lenin’s body, which was embalmed shortly after his death in 1924 and has been on public display ever since in a mausoleum on Moscow’s Red Square.

Art. Is. Ilya. Bio art. Russian artist Ilya Fedotov-Fedorov.
Ilya Fedotov-Fedorov is a very subtle and attentive artist – towards himself and his art, and towards the world around him. Ilya’s works are fundamentally non-technological and apolitical: they are about the other fragments of the world in which we live. His medium is comprised of elements that are taken from nature, and thanks to artistic reinterpretation, transformed into ordinary objects: strange entities living in a world of loneliness-as-isolation as purely aesthetic natural abstractions, and demiurgically (the will of the artist) organized living systems crowded with ants. But this is a world Fedotov-Fedorov is entirely removed from: his artistic traces are clearly discernible, but the artist seems to be intentionally absent from what he creates. The video above, which is the first in a series titled “Art.Is.You”, takes an intimate look into Fedotov-Fedorov’s methods and philosophy.
Илья Федотов-Федоров – автор тонкий и очень внимательный: к себе, к окружающему миру и к своему творчеству. Работы Ильи – принципиально внетехнологичны и аполитичны – они про другие фрагменты мира, в котором мы живем. Его медиум – взятые у природы элементы, которые благодаря художественному осмыслению превращаются в самобытные объекты: странных существ, живущих в мире одиночества-как-изоляции, абсолютно эстетские природные абстракции, демиургически (волей художника) организованные живые системы с толпами муравьев. Во всем этом Федотов-Федоров предельно отстранен: его почерк хорошо узнаваем, но автор будто намеренно не присутствует в том, что он делает.

This is How We Support Zero Waste Lifestyle in Russia ! ????
Links to this project:
You can become a coordinator of this project in your hometown!
As for me, my dream is to become zero waste. I`m trying hard going zero waste , but I know how difficult it is. I`m trying to quit plastic or even just reduce it, to reuse things, not to buy new useless stuff, to bring my rubbish to special containers sending it for recycling. I`m not doing enough and I know it, but something is much better than nothing!
Zero waste lifestyle is not an easy thing in modern society. If you like zero waste lifestyle you have to change your daily routine a lot and spend more time and energy on efforts to reduce waste and cope with the rubbish you produce at home. I wish I could recycle absolutely everything! But it`s hard in my hometown. When we decide to learn how to reduce waste and follow some tips to reduce waste, we realize, how unprepared our hometown is. But I`m really happy that some important ecological projects appear here with the help of wonderful local people who care about the environment! It is always good to take part in some ecological events when you are just trying to change your life and start following rules of zero waste for beginners.
Even if I`m far from zero waste living in a zero waste home, I`m really glad that I can change something about the ecological problems here in my Russian province and become a good eco friendly example for my children. I`m always trying to inspire them to struggle with ecological problems in our hometown.
Today`s video is about a very interesting Russian social movement «Clean Games».
It appeared in 2014 in Saint Petersburg. Its main objectives are to increase the culture of waste management, to promote the idea of separate collection and processing of waste.
In February 2018 the movement had its regional coordinators in 50 cities of Russia. They organize environmental quests, that have already attracted more than 11 thousand people. The mission of the movement is the formation of a conscious attitude to nature, environment and earth resources in society.
To make the long story short, I just can say that one day the creator of this social movement saw huge hills of garbage on the picturesque islands around Saint Petersburg and understood that no one wanted to clean them and he decided to organize a game to cope with that problem. He managed to turn this rubbish into a currency that could be changed for presents and prizes from sponsors.
Many important duties can be boring. But when they turn into a game, the attitude towards them always changes.
In 2016 this ecological project has collected 100 thousand tons of rubbish and now in 2019 this number has already grown. That`s a great result that inspires people to live with less waste, I suppose!
The project has become international. Clean Games has already taken place in Venezuela, Japan and some other countries. By the way, you can also become a coordinator and organize such a quest in your hometown! I`ll leave some links in the description box.
It is the second time we take part in this ecological quest. In 2018 we helped to clean the Volgograd`s dead Legend – the Monolith Stadium. And this year we became a part of the huge team of the Central district of Volgograd that was trying to clean the right bank of the
floodplain of the river Tsaritsa. The valley in the floodplain of this river is a beautiful natural park, where the museum Russia my History is situated.
We all should try to live with less waste and clean our regions, cities and parks! That`s why I hope that you will like this video with our experience! Thank you very much for watching!

11 Most Well Perserved Animals
From lion cubs found frozen to the discovery of the best specimen ever even going on to try and extract DNA from the baby mammoth
Subscribe for new videos Monday Wednesday and Friday!
7. A Mummified Cat
This is the mummified cat that was also brought to the Wells Trading Shop in the same box as the mummified rat that was just previously mentioned. The cat is also said to be more than 300-years-old, however, unlike the rat, it is believed that the cat was purposefully put into the wall of an old Welsh cottage in which it was found in. Dr. Marion Gibson, who is an expert of witchcraft and folklore at Exeter University states that the cat was most likely placed into the cottage wall while it was still alive. She says that this was a fairly common practice throughout Europe because people believed this would ward off any bad luck. This isn’t the first time a cat has been found inside the walls of a home as one was discovered back in 2009 and another in 2013.
6. Sasha The Wooly Rhinoceros
In 2014, the remains of this 18-month-old wooly rhinoceros were found in a ravine by a hunter in the Sakha Republic, Siberia. It happens to be the largest and coldest region in Russia, which explains why the animal’s carcass was so well preserved by permafrost. Dubbed as Sasha, the young rhino’s body was initially believed to be around 10,000-years-old when it was first discovered but it was last year that scientist announced it was 34,000-years-old after an autopsy was performed. It’s believed that Sasha’s cause of death was due to drowning since its nasal passages were clogged with mud. Even though the animal was preserved very well, the sex could not be determined.
5. Yuka The Mammoth
In the early months of last year, a group of Russian and South Korean scientists began their efforts at extracting DNA from this baby mammoth’s carcass and trying to clone it. Officially dubbed as “Yuka,” the well-preserved body of the mammoth was discovered in the Siberian permafrost back in 2013. Yuka is recognized as the most well-preserved specimen in all of Paleontology and it’s believed that she died somewhere between the ages of 6 and 11-years-old. Yuka died some 39,000 years ago at the hands of hunters by the looks of her wounds. Before being taken to the lab, Yuka was on display at a museum in Moscow, Russia.
4. Uyan And Dina The Lion Cubs
Just like Sasha the wooly rhino, these two cave lion cubs that were named Uyan and Dina were discovered in the Sakha Republic of Siberia back in the summer of 2015. The cubs were dated at being 12,000-years-old and could prove to be an explanation as to how these predatory cats died out as a species 10,000 years ago. No one is quite sure as to how these animals died out but it’s believed that they died out due to the dwindling population of their food sources such as cave bears and deer because these animals were top predators and weren’t prone to getting trapped in swamps, unlike wooly mammoths.
3. A 9,300-Year-Old Bison
Like most animals that are well preserved under sheets of ice, this bison carcass was found back in July of 2011 in the Sakha Republic of Siberia. The 9,300-year-old bison mummy was so well intact that when scientists opened it up they discovered that its heart, blood vessels, digestive system and brain were completely maintained. They were able to identify its cause of death as most likely being starvation as there was quite the lack of body fat near the animal’s abdominal area. There only happens to be three steppe bison mummies that have so far been discovered in the entirety of the planet and this one is the most complete out of all three specimens. A truly rare find.
2. The Tumat Dog
The remains of this 12,450-year-old puppy were located close to the River Syalakh in the Sakha Republic back in 2011. The dog is believed to have been around 3-months-old before it died and was discovered to be a female. Her body was discovered by a pair of brothers named Yury and Igor Gorokhov about 26 miles from their home in the village of Tumat, which is where she get’s her name. The Tumat Dog is believed to have died from a landslide that occurred at the edge of the river.
1. A Mammoth Trunk With Blood
It was three years ago when scientists in Siberia made the astonishing discovery. This wooly mammoth carcass that has been frozen for approximately 10,000 years is said to have the “best preserved wooly mammoth trunk” ever to be found in Siberia. Muscle and hair samples can still be found attached to the body and scientists were even able to extract a small vial of mammoth blood that created a wave of excitement for researchers in the hopes to one day clone the animal and resurrect it from extinction.

We do not advertise our museum, that is, those visitors who come, this is the human order, arrived in Russia: I want to visit the Museum of the Leningrad blockade, - says the Deputy Director of Defense and Blockade of Leningrad Museum Milena Tretyakov.
Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Kazan, St. Petersburg. Twice as many tourists from China is now master the so-called red revolutionary path. Especially popular favorite manor Ilyich: Lenin Hills. Here, say, a Chinese tourist - dream guide. Listen carefully. The questions are asked thoughtful. Stories and jokes about the leader for them taboo.
We have studied the range of souvenirs related to the museum to take an interest, as the Chinese are magnets with Lenin and the Chinese said. We are leaders in the fridge does not hang, - says Igor Konyshev, director of the Museum-Reserve Lenin Hills .
But Chinese characters on signs appreciated. Now you can at least all day to walk on Lenin places and do not get lost. Last year in Gorki looked every tenth to get to the Russian tourist from China.

RUSSIA: BODY OF 2,500 YEAR OLD SIBERIAN WARRIOR FOUND IN ICE
Russian/Nat
The deep frozen preserved corpse of an ancient Siberian warrior has been found and exclusively filmed by APTV
The tattooed man, who archaeologists say died violently around 2,500 years ago, was buried with his horse in the permafrost of the remote Altai region of Russia.
The body is now in Moscow, where it is being tended by the same team of embalmers who preserve Lenin's corpse.
This was the first time the corpse of the warrior, believed to be a member of the Scythian tribe, was put on show after being released from his icy tomb.
His corpse was discovered a month ago in the permafrost, where he died about 2,500 years ago.
Scientists believe he was killed either by an enemy or by wild animals.
The horseman was fully clothed in furs, a felt hood and knee-high leather boots when he was found, but they were removed to make examination easier.
He is so well preserved that his ornate tattoos and braided hair remain intact. He's thought to have been the bodyguard of a Scythian princess whose frozen body was found two years ago - but when her corpse was defrosted the skin quickly deteriorated.
Careful not to make the mistake again, scientists flew the warrior to Moscow packed in a block of ice. Then they injected preservatives into his body.
He is receiving the same care and attention that these scientists pay to another distinguished corpse - Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov - better known as Lenin, the founder of the former Soviet Union.
SOUNDBITE Russian:
The flesh and muscle tissue of the mummy we are now working on has been preserved reasonably well. If you consider of course two and a half thousand years of that it's been buried for so long.
SUPER CAPTION: Professor Yuri Denisov-Nikolsky, Institute of Biological Structures
The corpse of Lenin, still lying in state in Red Square, is testimony to the institute's work. They're preserving the Soviet leader's body for posterity and although the state he founded may have perished - his body is still in seemingly perfect condition ready for his planned burial in St. Petersburg.
By contrast the warrior is just starting his afterlife as a scientific attraction of world importance. Research on the corpse may help to shed more light on the mysterious Scythian empire which ruled Russia thousands of years ago.

In the Cradle of Space Exploration
A travelogue of historic Kaluga, Russia, shot during our satellite programming there in December.
Details here:
Here, in 1903, pioneering space flight theorist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky proved mathematically that rockets would make travel beyond our atmosphere a possibility. By 1929, he had worked out the practical specifics. It would be decades before the technology caught up. A school teach by trade, Tsiolkovsky spent most of his life living in a log cabin on the outskirts of the city, taken for a bizarre recluse by his fellow Kalugans. Tsiolkovsky died in 1935, but in 1961 Yuri Gagarin laid the corner stone of theState Museum of the History of Cosmonautics in his name, mere months after becoming the first human in space. But space was only the start of Tsiolkovsky's ideas: he believed that colonizing the solar system was just a step, one that would eventually bring the human race to immortality.
